✔️F I R E || BTS

삼십고

It was early as 8 o'clock in the morning and BTS were still on their dorm, still zoning out. It was their day off today and due to tight schedule and heavy work being now an idol, they badly need to sleep and take a good rest. They went back from work yesterday at 2 AM so it wasn't a surprise that they were still sleeping. Well maybe, except for Taehyung. He woke up around 7 o'clock. He was currently on the dorm's kitchen, spacing out as he sipped his tea that was already cold.

He was just thinking about something. Something that kept bugging on his mind. He sipped another one into his tea, finishing it before he stood up and put the mug on the sink and washed it. After that, he did his morning rituals and morphed his clothes into a casual one. He prepared his belongings, including his phone and wallet before he took off on a cab. Gladly, he was wearing a black-coloured face mask that covered half of his face and also a black-coloured newsboy hat to prevent him from being recognized by people. No one knows where he was heading, except himself.

At the other end of the spectrum, in Bangtan Dorm, it was Seokjin who woke up second to Taehyung. He scrubbed his eyes to have a clearer view of his surroundings as he was already walked outside from his room. His vision was kind of blurry so he stopped for a couple of seconds to squint his eyes. After he realized that he has now a clearer vision, he headed himself in the kitchen to cook some breakfast for the seven of them. He didn't even noticed that Taehyung went out alone.

But before he cooked today's breakfast, he brushed his teeth first like the usual.

After approximately one hour that seemed to Jin like a million years, he finally finished cooking. He cooked grilled short ribs, spicy seafood salad, spicy stewed fish, seasoned kelp, bean sprout rice, cold cucumber soup, and radish strip kimchi. It was traditional, yes, but he didn't care. What matters was they can eat deliciously.

The second thing he did was to do his morning rituals and then the third was too wake up his fellow members to eat their breakfast.

He first went to Namjoon and Jungkook's shared room.

"Good Morning yah sleepyhead faggots! It's time to eat! Come on! Wake up!" He said in falsetto, clapping his hands several times loudly.

The two groaned. They were still sleepy, it was obvious on how they acted. Namjoon stood up half-asleep as he headed himself to the bathroom to do his own morning rituals while the maknae, Jungkook went back to sleep.

" Yah Jungkook!" Jin called to the youngest. "Don't you dare go back to sleep!" He then warned

"But hyung! It's still early," the maknae whined annoyedly

Jin didn't mind the maknae's wails, instead he went to Yoongi and Hoseok's shared room. As he slid the door open, he saw Hoseok squinting his eyes as he sat on his bed.

"Oh? You up already?" Jin asked Hoseok.

Hoseok shrugged. "Yeah... Heard your loud squeal at the other room," He replied groggily.

Jin chuckled. He looked straight to the other side which was Yoongi's. He knew that Yoongi kind of a lot cranky when he's woken up by someone else but he didn't care. He was older than him so Yoongi can't complain and he loved himself for that. He was the only one older than him so he's also the only one who can scold him or boss him around, at least he himself believed that. He went towards the younger male and started shaking his body inadvertently.

"MIN YOONGI!" Jin shrieked as loud as he could to wake up Yoongi which automatically groaned in annoyance. That couldn't be good. "Wake up you petty old man!"

"Who you calling 'old man?'" Yoongi automatically reacted, groaning as he threw sharp and deadly glare at his older friend.

"You, of course," Jin replied boldly with a pang of pridefulness on his voice. "Now get up there and I will stop being a bothersome."

Yoongi didn't move a muscle. "Come on! Or I'll keep calling you old man for the rest your life?" He threatened.

Yoongi was left with no choice but to get up from his bed.

"That's more I like it. Hoseok?" Jin turned to Hoseok who was still half-asleep. "Prevent him from sleeping again. Hyung's orders!"

Hoseok nodded nonchalantly. "Yeah..." He replied in a dull tone.

Next stop for Seokjin now was Taehyung and Jimin's shared room. As he let himself in, he found Jimin sitting on his bed, wearing a blank sleepy face as he stares expressionlessly on the floor.

"Yuhoo! Time for breakfast! Come on!" Jin said making Jimin turned his head to him robotically, still wearing a blank face.

"I'm up hyung, you see?" Jimin replied with a hint of sarcasm in the way spoke.

"Uh-uh-uh... Don't give me that attitude Jimin. Now, where's Taehyung?" Jin said as he circumvented his eyes within the perimeter, folding his arms and put it on his hips.

Jimin just gave a shrug as he laid again on his bed but he's not going to sleep. "Don't have a clue. Maybe he's up already..." He said monotonously.

Jin curiosity rose up about Taehyung being up so early but in the end, he shrugged it off. Taehyung maybe was being miraculous today.

After maybe another one hour, approximately 10 o'clock now, everyone was being fresh again after they did their morning rituals. They all sat on the table and started to eat.

A couple of minutes after they started devouring the food, Jungkook was the first one to notice Taehyung's disappearance. He looked around, stopping himself to eat first.

"Kookie?" Namjoon asked the obviously anxious younger male.

Jungkook automatically turned to Namjoon, licking his lips. "Have you seen Taehyung anywhere guys?" He finally decided to ask someone.

Some shook their heads and some said a plain "no." That made everyone looked at each other. Worried was evident on their eyes. They didn't know where was Taehyung right at that moment.

"I thought he was outside already Jimin?" Jin asked Jimin.

"Hyung, I only said maybe he's up already. I didn't say he's outside and I said maybe, you know?..." Jimin defensively replied.

They looked at each other again after that. The room was then filled with silence. But then again, BTS couldn't stand being silent. They were born being loud and talkative and it's running through their veins.

"Let's just continue eating then after that, we'll find Tae together," Namjoon said and everyone agreed.
